This local electrical retailer has been in operation for almost 40 years. Their showroom is…read morespacious with a lot of products on display, which is surprising when you consider that there are only two Noel Grimley shops and it's a local retailer. All your household electricals are available here - flat screen TVs, fridges, washing machines, kettles, irons, DVD recorders... this place has the lot. They also manage to do quite well in competing with the large electrical retailers. Part of the reason for that is their customer service. As with many of the locally owned businesses or single shop retailers, they rely quite heavily on building a reputation and gaining a loyal customer base. The staff are very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they have a reputation as having a good attitude to after sales care. A minor issue for me is the lack of understanding of the importance of being sufficiently represented on the internet - a free website off Weebly with a few special offers isn't going to cut it, and is something which I believe contributed to the demise of Laser, a much bigger electrical retailer that folded earlier this year.

The staff were brilliant. The guy was sensitive to my obviously crazy upset at the damage to an inanimate object and discussed with me my options for repair. He took it and sent it off, quoting a turnaround of 3 weeks. Within a week it was back, fixed, and they even put a new eye-bit (technical term obviously) on for free, and it was much cheaper than getting a replacement. The guys in here know their stuff and clearly have a passion for what they do and I'll be back in a heartbeat.

It was for a…read moreparticularly antiquated camera so I'd already drawn a blank at Dixons and a couple of other smaller computer stores. One of them helpfully recommended Jessop's as a kind've last resort so I trudged over here without much hope of a solution. The assistant was really helpful and he was able to tell me in no uncertain terms that this type of memory storage wasn't made any more and my best bet would be to try and get some 2nd hand on eBay. Not exactly the best out come but at least I got a bit of resolution. Pros: Very helpful staff. Cons: Smallish shop.

What's this cool shizz I hear you ask? Well for a start they had a mini kids electric BMW sitting outside - now that will set you back a cool £600 - but if you have you the dosh coming up to Christmas I'd get one, even if you don't have kids. I actually went in to Maplin tom get a Megaphone, yep I'm plotting world domination. It was all much more straight forward than I thought. The Maplin store is split in to sections: Sounds, Lighting, Computers etc you know the drill. The Megaphone wasn't expensive either, £25 which I considered a bargain. Great wee store and differently somewhere to go and get tech Christmas gifts. The staff seem knowledgeable and the service is good. Plus there's plenty of parking so you'll be able to load that mini BMW in to your real car.

My iPhone lightning cable died! :-(…read more I couldn't charge my phone which was a travesty for me - I'm an iPhone addict. Plus I wasn't able to get to the city centre Apple Shop for a few days. Ordering online was an option but I needed it right NOW. My sister wisely and calmly suggested I try the electronics/computer shop in Queen's Students Union as it was close by. Thank goodness I did. SRL Electrics is a life saver - the guys in the shop are super. They showed me a range of lightning cables and allowed me to try them in store. I purchased an iWires lightning connector cable, which is slightly cheaper than the iPhone version and actually seems much better quality! It works brilliantly! Plus they come in different colours of red, blue and green - though sadly no pink. I'll definitely return to SRL Electrics again and this is due to the brilliant staff who kindly spent so much time explaining everything to technologically clueless me. They stock a full range of electrical items including TV's, washing machines, music playing devices, headphones, SIM cards, cables and batteries etc. Plus they also do PC and laptop repairs. I'll definitely be back.

The shop was well set out and seemed to feature Sony and Panasonic as it's two main brands. Had a browse around and eventually the sole staff member came over to help. He was really nice and patiently explained the pros and cons of the tape vs. hard drive recording formats and the (huge) difference in price and the like. There was no hard sell and he seemed to really want to understand what I wanted to get out of a camera so I could chose the best model. After a pleasant and informative chat I left with a brochure and a much better idea of my options. Perfect. The shop also had a wide selection of electronic goods ranging from inexpensive DAB radios right up to pricey plasma and flat screen tv's. Pros: Expert knowledge. Cons: There is a lot of swanky kit in here, you will be tempted.

I know they stocked them and they did. It was once they realised that they simply couldn't sell me anything else apart from this meagre cable that they kinda shut down all thoughts of customer service.

I called in here while I was TV shopping about a year ago. It's a nice big place, full of fantastically huge screens aching for a place in my apartment. They have an extensive range of TV, dvd and blu-ray, some stereo equipment and a range of white goods too. I was after a 32inch, either 720p or full HD depending on the cost. I saw a Samsung, 720p for a measly £329. Quite a bargain considering the brand and the picture quality. I ended up leaving it and finding a new Toshiba on Amazon for £289, which turned out to be a fabulous piece of kit. I probably should have been helping the smaller independent retailer but alas I went corporate ...

Rumour had it that a cash purchase would guarantee a substantial saving over most 'chain stores' so we decided it was well worth an investigation. Walking in just before closing time is never a great idea for a browse but the staff were more than happy to let us head upstairs and check out the fridge selection. The stock was a bit limited and as we were working to a specific size brief for the fridge (it had to fit into a pre-determined space) we unfortunately didn't find what we were after. Downstairs they had a huge selection of smaller electrical goods and at the back a wall of pretty sweet looking TV's. Someone had decided to play an Iron Maiden live DVD on one of them so it was a rather striking contrast to the surroundings of the shop, possibly a last ditch attempt to clear before closing time. Pros: Great staff, very helpful and pricing is very competitive. Cons: Not a huge selection.

But I was wrong. You can go to a shop and pay just as much and not have to wait for it in the post! (.....) Yes, this stuff is the finest quality you can get in the commercial market, but wow do they make you pay for it. If this really is what you want and are prepared to pay for it, then go for it, but I don't see how anyone could not feel bad about paying so much for a box that emits noise.
